Advice wanted.

Hello everyone. I've been in Retail for over 10 years (various companies from low end to high) but would like to pivot to something else. I'm currently in inventory control on a store level. I'm at a loss as to what or where my skills would be useful. Any advice?

I'd like to add - I live in a small town, nearest big city is over an hour away, hubs & I own our home (so moving and having to rent/buy doesn't really make sense), plus hubby's job is here.

Thank you for any advice!

I'm not familiar enough with "inventory control" to comment. Is that loss prevention? Or is it buying/purchasing and making sure products get to shelves?

Basically, I make sure that all of the stock that comes into the store, whether from our distribution centers or vendors, is checked in properly. I'm also responsible for ordering stock and store supplies, damaging out what needs it, making sure overstock gets worked. I also do merchandising.
